SANITARY FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. Patented Oct. 1, 1912.

Application filed August 10, 1911. Serial No. 643,344.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, RAYMOND E. CRANE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cameron, in the county of Marshall and State of West Virinia, have invented certain new and usefu Improvements in SanitaryFixtures, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to sanitary fixtures such as a wash basin, of atype such as a lavatory or drinking fountain, and is adapted morespecifically for that particular class of such fixtures which standslightly away from the wall, permitting of the cleaning of the wallbehind the fixture.-

The objects of my invention are. to support said sanitary fixtures by ahanger which is simple to install and which will permit an adjustmentfor raising or lowering-either side of the lavatory should the hangernot be installed level, or should the-lavatory be warped so that whenthe hanger is level the slab would not look right.

I attain these objects in the method shown in the accompanying drawings,in Which' Figure l is a perspectlve view facing the lavatory from alittle to the right side of a straight front view. Fig. 2 is a View,partly in section, showing an arm of the bracket .and a sectional viewof-part of the lavatory,

so that the method of attachment of bracket to lavatory can be morereadily understood. Fig. 3 illustrates a view, loo-king from above thelavatory, for the purpose of showing the location of the groove 0 andthe fastening lugs R.

Similar letters refer to "similar parts throughout the several views.

The lavatory bracket with its arms A and A is screwed to the wall bymeans of screwholes SSS. These arms A and A are equipped with set-screwsB-BB, both vertically and horizontally directed. The bracket is alsoequipped with a tongue or holding-lug C. A' lavatory, which in this caseis circular and with a back, T, is provided at lEt-R with lugs which areadapted to receive both the vertical and horizontal setscrews B-B. Afterthe hanger is I screwed to" the wall, the lavatory tongue groove orholding-slot O is set over the tongue C. The vertical set-screws B-B on.

each'arm are then adjusted until the slab of the lavatory isapproximately level. The

horizontal set-screws BB are then made tight and abut against theslanting surface of the lugs at R, thus holdingthe lavatory from beingpulled away from tongue C. ThlS makes a rigid connection, preventing thelifting of the front of the lavatory orof the rear of the lavatory, andprovides at the same time an economical and simple method of supportingsame. This construction also enables the wall behind the lavatory to bekept perfectly clean.

Anyone familiar with the art of manufacturing earthenware lavatories" isfamiliar with the fact that crookedness, owing to shrinkage in firing,is one of the principal difliculties with which such manufacturers haveto contend, and the ability toadjust the lavatory by means of set-screwsis a very,

side arms, a three-point hearing from said bracket for the holding ofsaid lavatory, means of adjustment of the elevation of each side of thelavatory, and means for locking said lavatory to the bracket,substantially as described.

Cameron, W. Va, Aug. 5', 1911. In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence 'of'two Witnesses.
